Petri FT

The Petri FT is a 35mm single-lens reflex (SLR) camera manufactured by Petri Camera Company during its production run from 1967 to 1975. As part of Petri's line of affordable Japanese SLRs targeted at the growing amateur market, the FT offers a straightforward, functional experience. Typically equipped with a focal-plane shutter and interchangeable screw-mount lenses, it provided enthusiasts with the core SLR capabilities of its era at a budget-friendly price point. Its design reflects the utilitarian aesthetic common to many mid-century consumer SLRs, prioritizing reliability and ease of use over cutting-edge innovation or premium materials.
